Description from the seller
Portrait of Henri De Cocker
Henri De Cocker (Vurste, September 15, 1908 – Ghent, November 2, 1978) was a Flemish painter.
In 1934 he enrolled at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent. He then attended classes at the National Higher Institute for Fine Arts in Antwerp.
In 1942 he held his first exhibition in zaal Pan in Ghent. Until 1948 he painted in an expressionist style. Staying in Paris in 1948 and later brought a turning point to a lighter period that lasted until 1952. A trip through Spain in 1953 resulted in a series of works with surreal and sometimes poetic nuance. Afterwards followed an abstract period: cubism, collages, madonnas and blotchy compositions, tachisme — here too he evolved from dark to lighter. In 1960 he won the Art Criticism Prize with his exhibition of abstract works in the gallery Le Zodiaque in Brussels. From 1963 he drew inspiration again from rural life and once again became the expressionist of the landscape. From 1970 Fauvist work followed.
The work could be a bit more taut.
